The Manhattan Projects #25

The Manhattan Projects reaches its 25th issue with a cover that speaks volumes through quiet restraint — a deep violet circle radiates outward against a warm rose-toned field, the stark "MP" monogram and subtitle "Departure Point" suggesting something momentous and final is at hand. Jonathan Hickman's minimalist cover design carries an almost ceremonial weight, the radiating lines evoking both scientific diagrams and something far more ominous. If this series has consistently asked "what if everything went wrong," issue #25 looks like the moment that question finds its answer.
